Embodiment Construction
[0035] The following description is presented to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the invention, and is provided in the context of a particular application and its requirements. Various modifications to the disclosed embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.
Branch Predictor
[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the branch prediction associated with each branch is recorded in a 2-bit field. Consequently, there are 4 states possible for the branch predictor. The four states (along with their associated bit patterns) are:
Strongly-not-taken (SNT 600){00}Weakly-not-taken (WNT 601){01}...
